| Description |
English: The three graces from "Monument de Coeur de Roi Henri II"
Acquired 1910. Inventory 1667. Germain Pilo (1528-1590), 1560-66. Marble. Louvre, Paris From a sign next to the sculpture: "Monument of the Heart of Henry II. This copy was cast after the original model housed at the Musée du Louvre in Paris, It was transferred here after the French Revolution, during which it was subjected to vandalism. It originally held the heart of a king, hence the title: Monument of the heart of Henri II. Revolutionaries smashed the urn containing the heart of the Renaissance king Henry II and the urn was placed on a tripod on top of the figures' heads. In the original, the three graces dance underneath the urn, but the urn is not included in this copy. The sculpture was made by Germain Pilon, who adopted the ideals of the Renaissance and depicted the Three Graces straight out of Antiquity - only even more delicate and elegant in their arm movements, and in the way their draperies flutter in motion. Since Antiquity, the Three Graces had symbolized fidelity in marriage. Henry II was married to Catherine de Medici."

Erhveret 1910. Inventar 1667. Germain Pilo (1528-1590), 1560-66. Marmor. Louvre, Paris Fra en skilte ved siden af skulpturen: "Monument til Henri II's Hjerte. Kopien her er støbt efter en original model, der findes på Musée du Louvre, Paris, hvor den blev overført til efter Den franske revolution, hvorunder den var blevet udsat for hærværk. Den rummede nemlig en konges hjerte, udtaget fra kroppen efter dødens indtræden. Monumentet kaldes derfor "Monument til Henri II's hjerte". De revolutionære smadrede urnen, der var sat på en træfod oven på figurernes hoveder, hvor renæssancekongen Henri II's hjerte lå. Originalen fremstiller de tre muser, der i en let dans bevæger sig under urnen. Urnen er ikke med i denne kopi. Den ser også noget påklistret ud og den er ikke udført af samme kunstner som skulpturen. Den blev udført af billedhuggeren Germain Pilon, der tog Renæssancen idealer til sig og skildrede de tre gratier som var de fra antikken selv - bare endnu mere forfinede og elegante i deres armbevægelser og i draperiets fald under bevægelse, som det er typisk for fransk smag. De tre gratier havde siden antikken været et symbol på trofasthed i ægteskabet. Henri II var gift med Catherina af Medici."
